Family Album

0/5 ( ratings)

Family Album provides an absorbing and insightful look into the secret carried across generations, and how far these men and women will go to protect them. Gwen McDuffy has returned to Mellingham with her two children, but something is haunting her. Distracted by her own worries, she barely notices the tension at the Arbella Society, where George Frome, determined to bring questionable practices to the attention of the board of directors, is systematically offending everyone he encounters. Catherine Rocklynd, wealthy patron, is on edge, and refuses to confide in her nephew, Edwin Bennett. Kelly Kuhn, art dealer and collector, is sinking into debt trying to woo customers like Annalee Windolow. Quiet, picturesque Mellingham cannot erase the secrets and sorrows of a lifetime, so its residents do their best to hide them behind facades of philanthropy and family. But when a secretary discovers a dead body in the attic of Arbella House, the staff and volunteers of the historical society are doubly threatened. Chief of Police Joe Silva knows he'll uncover some painful secrets when he begins investigating the murder, but he must prepare himself for personal disappointment as the murder investigation moves closer to Gwen McDuffy. Richly evocative in setting, with finely drawn characters and an absorbing plot, Family Album asks meaningful questions about family and identity, and the need to belong.
